In the United States, presidential elections are held in years evenly divisible by four (1888,
1900, 1964, etc.). Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending with zero have died in
office, with one exception. William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of
pneumonia only several weeks after his inauguration.
Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860,
and his untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from
Ohio, was shot during his first year in office (1881) by a man to whom he wouldn't give a job. While in
his second term of office (1901), William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan-American
Exposition in Buffalo, New York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with
some of the guests. John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his
election.
Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G, Harding died in office. Although it was never
proved, many believe he was poisoned. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times (1932, 1936,
1940 and 1944), the only man to serve so long a term. He had contracted polio in 1921 and eventually
died of the illness in 1945.
Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980 and reelected four years later, suffered an
assassination attempt but did not succumb to the assassin's bullets. He was the first to break the long

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS
Paul Watson is an environmental activist. He is a man who believes that he must do something,
not just talk about doing something. Paul believes in protecting endangered animals, and he protects
them in controversial ways. Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much. Other
people think that he is a criminal.
On July 16
th

, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the Sea
Shepherd. Watson and the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean
near Portugal. However, they had a strange prey; instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship,
the Sierra. The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, the Sierra never
returned to the sea. The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada. Paul Watson
and his workers thought that they had been successful.
The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and the crew of
the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as many
whales as they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later, they sold the whale meat in countries
where it is eaten.
Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra.
However, the commission did very little, and Paul became impatient. He decided to stop the Sierra and
- 5-
other whaling ships in any way that he could. He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any
illegal whaling ship, and he sank the Sierra. He acted because he believes that the whales must be
protected. Still, he acted without the approval of the government; therefore, his actions were
controversial.
Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist. Other men and women are also fighting to
protect the Earth. Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their governments, and like
Watson, they have become impatient. Yet, because of their concern for the environment, they will act
to protect it.

Question 74: The main idea of paragraph one is that ____
A. Paul Watson is a hero to some people
B. activists are people who do something
C. Paul Watson is a controversial environmental activist
D. Paul Watson does not believe in talking
Question 75: The Sea Shepherd was hunting ____
A. the Atlantic Ocean B. whales C. the Sierra D. Portugal
